Let's Analyze an Airplane Wing! (Discussion and FEA with FEMAP)

Hello! Today we are going to be doing a discussion and FEA analysis (FEMAP/NASTRAN) of an airplane wing, particularly a stressed skin wing design in a small aircraft like that of a Cessna 172! Like in my other videos, this video is split up into 3 phases, the first is a discussion to understand wing structures, the second focuses on the CAD I did to prep for the FEA, and the final and longest part goes through the creation of the FEA model from scratch using FEMAP with NASTRAN!

Here's a link to the previous analysis video:

This isn't a FEMAP tutorial per se, however I do show every click and button so if you download the program (there's a student license available, see below) and follow along you should be able to recreate this without a ton of prior experience. FEMAP is pretty common in the aerospace industry so it's a good skill to have!
